Sporta things have assumed quite a new importance in the mode of late, and it is interesting to note two quite different tendencies in their designs On the one hand they are becoming more gay, finely kilted silk skirts in printed silk are worn with woollen or, kasba- drap jumpers, and on the cther hand, they are being as carefully tailored as a tailleur of serge or face cloth.
It is this tailor made aspect

FUR FABRICS.
EVEN COURT DRESSMAKERS USE THEM.
Beige velours and brown astrakhan are combined in the dress shown on the right. The bell "cuffa," which are paed. on to many of the most interesting of the new models, are attached above the elbow. The arrangement of the astrak- han cloth gives the impression of a skirt which extends. above the waist-fine-another feature of the autumn mode. The other dress is made from printed velvet with a tiny all-over pattern in shades of wine red, purple, and blue. Fery novel is the collar and tiny yoke cut in one on the bike and stretched to give the desired curve at the base of the yoke.. It is mude, like the wide belt, of many thicknesses of wine red georgette stitched with blue silk. Aborder and cuffs of grey for add tremendously to the effect of this model.
It it to be noted that many leading dressmakers favour a much shorter skirt when a fur border is used than they are making as a general rule this season.

In the perfumerie, department of LATE, CRAWFORD's. I noticed severn! attractive things designed mainly articles is expensive and yet ther all have individuality. There are for example, manicure sets in pretty cases. The instruments are backed with coloured composition and the lid of the box contains a good sized mirror which can be lifted out. The most expensive box, which has thirteen instruments, only costs $10. Pocket manicure sets, consiating. çf mirror, 4 instruments, and buller in a coloured moiré folder can be| purchased for $1.
There are cigarette boxes with ash trays to match in a composition which resembles coloured marble, and china figures of people find animals which contain bath salts. For the children are cakes of soup' made to look like fruit, oranges," apples, bannas, etc. They are well shaped, beautifully coloured, and look good enough to eat.
Besides the very many lovely frocks, bats, and coate which MADAME SARBAULT has brought back from Paris, I find that she has selected for us some foundation garments, branière and girdles for evening use, which are really almost too attractive to cover "up. There is a girdle, for example, in pink corded ribbon, which is interlaced to give a firmer panel in front and fastens with elastic tabs. A pisk milanese and fine lace brassière is as carefully made as an evening frock, of which, of course, it is an important part.
I saw also some fine. French silk stockings.

Among the new curtain materials which I saw this week in WHITE AWAY, LAIDLAW's are some lovely silk lace nota They have good all over lace patterns in solid filet designs and are made in beautiful colours. I saw old gold, Jofre blue and a beautiful deep rose pink.
I was told that a large shipment of now English aximinster carpets was coming this week.
There are only three left of the shipment which came in about four weeks ago, so if you are in need of a carpet you had better see them be- fore all the new lot go.
